what so special about caviar?

i mean they are just fish eggs, i offen eat fried fish egg sack. so what make caviar so special and expensive?

the fish that lays them?

First off, hello Calvin_0 long time no see eh? :)OK, Bhatooth got it right, it's the fish the eggs come from, plus the preparation. Unlike what we're used to, to quote wikipedia:

wikipediaCaviar is the processed, salted roe of certain species of fish, most notably the sturgeon (black caviar) and the salmon (red caviar). It is commercially marketed worldwide as a delicacy and is eaten as a garnish or a spread; for example, with hors d'œuvres.

Roe by the way is:

wikipediaRoe or hard roe is the fully ripe internal ovaries or egg masses of fish and certain marine animals, such as shrimp, scallop and sea urchins. As a seafood, roe is used both as a cooked ingredient in many dishes and as a raw ingredient.

Ugh, that's gross.

Fish egg sack tastes just like ordinary chicken eggs that were hard boil, you're just ignorant of the fact 8)

The fresh eggs are sometimes bitter though.

Yes they do, but caviar is made of eggs that are still inside the fish's eggsack.

Looking at caviar creeps me out. It reminds me of the ovaries of a pregnant frog I had to dissect for school. DO NOT WANT. : (
